Chayesh Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I am more than happy to site ban anyone failing school because of FL. School IS that important. Don't waste the opportunities you have to succeed. If it truly is something you struggle with and have no restraint over, send me a request. I want as many people as possible to play FL, but I care more about everyone's RL success than FL's playerbase size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wathok Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I failed half my courses in first year university and got kicked out of my program because of my addiction to Forsaken Lands. Like Raargant said, it's not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rairen Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 In fact, there are few things worth giving up for a text-based game. Er, except spiders. I don't like spiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magick Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Your schooling is MOST important. Don't let FL get in the way. Assuming Chayesh is serious, and I do believe he is (upon request from the player), I respect him even more, and any other Imm that would be willing to do this for the sake of schooling.

Tantangel Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Wish I would've done that for high school. Then again, it didn't really affect me at all. It was all that 'homework' stuff I didn't want to touch. If it wasn't FL it was gonna be something else anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tantangel Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I'm not a procrastinator. I just happen to want to do things more tastefully with my time. Like instead of Homework, I want to play a video game. I was in the class already after all, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewGuy Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 In one way, it is me a lot. But when I, well... Lets say have a homework... I wouldnt do the dishes so I dont have to do the homework. I would do something fun, or at least not all boring. I think I would more fall under the category "lazy" than "procrastinator". Or maybe the full hit is the mix, "lazy procrastinator". Hmm. Yes. Thats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warpnow Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I have only in the last couple of months been able to resist the temptation of overplaying FL and disreguarding school and life. I was carrying 70-73 in EVERY class I had...but I've laid back on FL and manages to pull my grades up consideribly. I would have asked for a siteband, but I was just TOO addicted, I would have found a way around it...heh I am not in college yet or anything, so it prolly gets harder with more "freedom", so we'll see if I can withstand greater addiction...

I soooo needed a site ban! If I had been site banned, I might have stayed in college instead of dropping out and marrying the first moron that came my way! Its all your fault and I finally realize this now. I feel better! Though I might have to ask for a site ban in the near future since I am about to re-enroll in college now that the state of Oregon is going to pay for it 100%.

tassinvegeta Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 For some reason I don't thnk many of us would have the strength to ask for a site ban due to fl's power over us. Its kinda like an alcoholic or drug addiction. Many want to stop but won't go to the lengths to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannym4n Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'd certainly be unfazed by a site ban. I actually find it quite pathetic that it has such a hold on people. *shrugs* But I guess I have quite the tolerance to the new street drug: FL. Note, I'm not asking for a site ban, as my Lady plays, and I certainly play when I want to chill and 'try' to rank. EDIT: The FORUM however! Now that's a different story.

Tantangel Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 EDIT: The FORUM however! Now that's a different story. This has always been more of a problem for me than the actual game. I play the game off and on throughout the day (soon to be little to no playing time throughout the week with work again), and I'm on the forum 10X that which I actually play the game.
